Modifying templates for HotA.

How does the HotA Crew view the idea of globally expanding the standard template by including all default starting settings (map size, difficulty, monster strength, road type, timer, etc.)? We could also include the number of restarts (if an integrated restart system is implemented) and the active rules for this template (for HW-rules). Ideally, I envision it this way: the tournament organizer creates such a global template that already includes all settings and rules and posts it in the tournament thread. Players download this file, select it in the game with two mouse clicks – all settings are automatically set to the values specified in the template, and all that remains is to choose the castles and starting heroes, agree on a rollback (if there was a trade), and click the "start game" button. I think this would significantly simplify things for everyone, especially beginners. Of course, if desired, nothing prevents changing some settings by mutual agreement between the players.
Yes, something similar is planned.
